Emily and I met back in the nineties, and I recall that she did some clever work with pure DFT on aluminum alloys. Thanks for the news (to me) that she not only moved to Princeton but evidently has been quite successful there.

I have always said that funerals are for the living, they motivate us to reach out and touch people. Walter would have approved. Some people in this world are cruel, too cruel, so I like to see reminders of the good people out there.
